What first looked like a single strange crypto post is now turning into a bigger situation, as another WWE-related account appears to have posted the same kind of message.

Former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz already raised concern after a crypto-style post showed up on his account claiming big profits and a luxury purchase. Now, WWE announcer Vic Joseph’s account has shared a similar message, which immediately set off alarms for people who follow these types of scams.

The post on Vic Joseph’s account claimed a massive trading win in just a short period of time and credited a so-called coach — a pattern that is commonly seen when social media accounts are compromised.

In the suspicious message shared from Vic Joseph’s account, the post claimed he made a huge profit in only a few hours and thanked an outside account for helping him achieve it.

“I just wrapped up my trading with a whopping ,000 profit. In 2 hours 🔥📈 Massive gratitude to @coachTamara4444 for the guidance and opportunity 💰❤️”

The post also included screenshots showing trading profits, which is another tactic often used to make these types of messages look believable. Seeing nearly identical crypto-style content appear on more than one WWE-related account has led many to believe that both accounts may have been targeted around the same time.

Situations like this have become more common across social media, where scammers take control of well-known accounts and use them to promote fake crypto success stories or suspicious investment schemes.

When more than one familiar name starts posting the same type of crypto message, it usually doesn’t take long for people to suspect something isn’t right. If this turns out to be another round of hacked accounts, it shows how quickly scammers can move once they gain access.
